It seems like it doesn't justify the price difference. I'll keep them ;-) Thank you for your in-depth tech knowledge, it's great! 

Can someone explain the concept and technique of layering LUTs? 

Thank you for explaining this to me, but how can the great be sent through a s-curve if the correction is applied before the LUT? Isn't that exactly the same as doing the corrections without a LUT at all?

Any experience with the new DNxHR format? 

I don't know if it will work for you but Tangent Wave got a modular panel called Tangent-bt with programmable buttons. 

You can also store the grade in one of your bins and apply it to multiple clips that is selected, but it's still not the way I prefer to work.

We just invested in some z820 workstation that the retailer recommended us. I read online that the z840 are now entering the market and that they have updated the chip and has support for DDR4 memory. Will that make any advantage when running Resolve and Fusion? 

It looks like MXF OP-atom is the only format we need to work with anyway so it should cover our need. 

Thank you for sharing, I will go for MXF OP-atom then.

We're establishing a DNxHD workflow and I'm about to deliver a project to an Avid Symphony editor for finishing. Should I deliver MXF OP-Atom and MXF OP1a? What is the difference?

Interesting! And both the softwares play MXF OP-Atom and MXF OP1a? 

I met a senior colorist from Nightshift in Paris that mainly works with fashion commercials and fashion in motion films. See told me that one of her techniques to achieve a bold contrast and at the same time a very bright top was to 'bend the top' with the lift control inside a node with a 3D Lut applied. I have found that it's a huge difference in the way the highlights respond from working on this node compared to the next one in the tree. It feels like I can push the brightness forever without clipping them and still retain a bold contrast. Can someone explain what is going on? 

Thank you! It looks like a nice player, I will dig into it!


 

We just set up a couple of HP z820 workstations and out media workflow is based on MXF DNxHD(HR). Our systems run the codec natively but could you recommend any media player that will read these files directly from the desktop?
